"Prayer for a Warrior"

They are fiction, but are based on the battles of the Biblical warrior poet King David and his band of brothers, who came to be known as the Mighty Men. These warriors came to David in his most desperate hour and fought with him to claim the throne he was destined to fill.

The song that I am a part of is called "Prayer for a Warrior." I wrote it with my great friend, Aaron Rice. Musically, it's EPIC...super drama and strings! (You know I love that!!) Lyrically it's moving and honest and powerful and gut wrenching all at the same time.

Picture the women praying in anticipation of the coming battle over their men. Picture the men crying out before and amidst the battle. And picture ourselves as we all cry out to God in our own battles, we make the choice to praise our Savior!!

Here are the lyrics!

"Prayer for a Warrior" By: Kerrie Roberts, Aaron Rice

"Before me is a battle

An enemy of our God

Beneath me earth shaking

From the army charging after us

Behind me is a history

Of Holy deliverance

Above me, Almighty

The one who covers us

Oh Mighty God, Faithful God, Eternal God

Oh Holy One, Savior

Oh you care for us, shelter us, deliver us

Oh Holy One, Savior

Fight is raging, heart pounding

Soul burning up inside

Arrows flying, men crying

Yet somehow peace I find

And truth it whispers gently now

I’ve held you all along

And the fire inside of me

Grows into this song

Oh Mighty God, Faithful God, Eternal God

Oh Holy One, Savior

Oh you care for us, shelter us, deliver us

Oh Holy One, Savior

God bless these hands that are spotted with a foreign blood

These feet that stand ‘til the battle’s won

This dagger and shield that are marred with scars wielded in your name
